Abstract: The St. Lawrence Seaway is closed to navigation from mid-December to about April 1. In a continuing programme aimed at extending the navigation season, the Department of the Environment is carrying out studies of the ice regime in the Seaway section from Montreal to Lake Ontario. Ice growth patterns, as a function of time, position, and yearly weather changes, are described. It is concluded that using field data, remote sensing, and historical records, a theoretical model can be constructed to predict breakup much more accurately than is presently possible.
